ADD QUOTES
- Eriq La Salle: (During an EInsiders.com interview by Jonathan W. Hickman; September 28, 2002) There are stories within the universe, in the world, that need to be told, that need to be populated with more minorities. The Sixth Sense is not a good white film. Insomnia is not a good white film. They're just good films. So why we can't we have good films that happen to have black people, or Asian, or Latino, or any other minority group in them?

- Eriq La Salle: Acting, directing and producing in a film when you have no budget and only nineteen days makes it extremely, extremely difficult.
